Featuring superb performances by Dabney Coleman and Barry Corbin, WarGames is 'brilliant...funny...and provocative' (New York)a fast-paced cyber-thriller. Computer hacker David Lightman (Broderick) can bypass the most advanced security systems, break the most intricate secret codes and mastereven the most difficult computer games. But when he unwittingly taps into the Defense Department's war computer, he initiates a confrontation of global proportionsWorld War III! Together with his girlfriend (Sheedy) and a wizardly computer genius (Tony AwardÂ(r) winner John Wood), David must race against time to outwit his opponent...and prevent a nuclear Armageddon. Amazon.com: Cute but silly, this 1983 cautionary fantasy stars Matthew Broderick as a teenage computer genius who hacks into the Pentagon's defense system and sets World War III into motion. All the fun is in the film's set-up, as Broderick befriends Ally Sheedy and starts the international crisis by pretending while online to be the Soviet Union. After that, it's not hard to predict what's going to happen: government agents swoop in, but the story ends up in the 'hands' of machines talking to one another. Thus we're stuck with flashing lights, etc. John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directs in strict potboiler mode. Kids still like this movie, though. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, director commentary, optional English, French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - It could have happened War Games with Matthew Broderick. Interesting to see what computers & floppys looked like when this picture was filmed. The real Brainiac, if properly programmed, might just as easily started the countdown. Rating: - An Engaging Little Tale About Nuclear War In this quintessentially 1980s movie (it co-stars Dabney Coleman, so that pretty much qualifies it right there), a young computer-hacker (played by a very young Matthew Broderick) accidentally hacks into the U.S. defense missile control center (while trying to forge his high school grades!) and initiates a game of "war" with a supercomputer that is used to formulate possible outcomes of thermonuclear war with Russia. Broderick's character initially plays the "side" of Russia, prompting the computer ... Read More Rating: - War Games An older movie starring a young Matthew Broderick. A boy decides to get into a hidden spot on the computer and taps into the military computers. When he starts to play this game, the computer thinks it is real. Rating: - (In early 80's computer voice!) SHALL WE PLAY A GAME??? Classic 80's movie with a brand new 25th Anniversary Ed. DVD!!! Great transfer of this classic film with great sound and a nice heaping of extras!!! Thanks MGM Home Entertainment!!! A worthy upgrade from the original DVD release from the late 90's A+ Classic stuff indeed!!! Rating: - Delightful revisiting of Enjoyable Film The extra features add to the enjoyment of a well done film. Young, at the time stars, Broderick and Sheedy tell of this an early film in their careers. Director's and technical comments reveal how innovative and revolutionary this film was. Story of the plot's research and development process is fascinating. Shared this film with spouse and friend and we enjoyed the look back and the well told story again. see more Browse for similar items by category: Action & Adventure - Genres - DVD - Video - General Drama - Genres - DVD - Video - General ( B ) - Actors & Actresses - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - Broderick, Matthew ( C ) - Actors & Actresses - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - Coleman, Dabney ( C ) - Actors & Actresses - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - Corbin, Barry
